Concerning the GVB Bakha...

You know, I used to sort of think the Bakha was a stupid ship. I only ever used it in Bearbaiting and High Noon, after all, and those missions wouldn't be a shining first impression of any craft, really.

And it's not that bad. It's a decent fighter-bomber. I got some good use out of it in Procyon Insurgency -- though that was mostly because of the Phalanx Cannon. Point is, it's not some sort of horribly-designed deathtrap, like Bearbaiting might make it seem.

On the other hand...there's not a lot recommending it. It's not great at any of the roles it fills. The Sekhmet is a better bomber, and arguably a better fighter-bomber, too. And the Tauret is almost certainly a superior heavy fighter.

So, I don't hate it, but...

I guess what I'm trying to say is -- it's not like I like you or anything, Bakha.
